Need to buy rim locks, but where and which one? Please help!Any Info Helps!
I just purchased some axis seven mods 19's. I need to know which rim locks I can get for these rims. I actually want two different brands because I'm going to put two on each rim. If I'm not too careful, I will get jacked. Where should I buy them from? Any info helps, thanks!

Damn man. You make it to hard to get the wheels off and one morning, you'll look out at your car and see that the onlything left are the wheels and frame.....

you can look into kyokugen lightweight lugs. They come with a hex key.
give this place a call. they should hook it up.

kyokugen lugs are a joke. anyone w/ the kyokugen lugs will have the hex key. so you'd imagine any thief would already own a hex key.
they only thing they're good for is being lightweight.

Best are Mcgard cause those are what are OEM for most cars
Acura uses Mcgard and they send you a reference # so if you ever lose the lock key all you have to do is call and they'll send you another key for the lock

I like the way the locking mechanism is on the SIDE of the lug instead of the END.
With the McGuard and every other OEM lock I’ve seen the locking interface is right on the end of the lug.
All you have to do is get one of those “Gator Grip” socket devices and hammer it over the end of the locking lug.
Then you can remove it with a standard socket.
Not very safe in my opinion.
With the Gorilla system the end of the lug is ROUND and there’s nothing to grip.
And there’s just enough room on the sides for the “key” to fit in. No other way to grip them.
Plus there are over 10,000 different keys.
OEM locks have only a few different types so the dealer can keep a complete set of “keys” in the shop.
See below…….. Gorilla lock is on the LEFT.
